Heads up. They've given free transfers from SotE to The Ebon Hawk. www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=477706My account is still active and I plan on moving my characters. I mean, I don't really feel like the server is empty, not compared to what other people are saying about how bad other servers are. But with free transfers there's really no reason not to take them. Otherwise you'll be left behind as the population just gets lower and lower.

Is The Ebon Hawk a decent size?

Not sure, although of course it will be way more populated than SotE now.
Found out I'm going to lose my legacy name and most character names with the transfer. I'm kinda attached to them, too. I felt like my characters had their own little identities and stuff. Kinda sucks.

That alone would keep me from xfering. SW:ToR is a single player game anyways right?

Yep Rer, but it is better when you can see other players. Lately, I have not seen anyone.

I've heard unsubbed people can xfer, just FYI I'm gonna take the plunge.

I just xfered my characters, but I'm unsubbed, so I can't log in. You don't get the name check until you log in.

Well, this is somewhat promising. Reddit feedback from a new transferGuess I should just bite the bullet and start thinking of new names. Edit: Fenix legacy is now the Novak legacy. Kinda surprised I only lost 1 of my primary character's names, Destro was taken but I still have the others. That wasn't so bad after all.

I wouldn't mind a Legacy name change, but the character name is something I'm attached to. Ug. I reckon I'll xfer if you all do, but I'm not sure I see myself ever logging in to actually get my name back. Guild Wars is gonna put SWToR waaaaay behind me

Active subscribers should get priority for names. Makes sense. I just didn't want to come back down the road to an empty server or be forced onto a different server where my friends weren't.

Technically my account is still active. But the game is on my external harddrive, which died LAST month and my PC died 2 weeks ago but I only just got confirmation earlier this week. =(

I transferred, but think I'm going to wait for 1.3 to drop to actually resub. I have a 60-day card I need to use up, so that'll work well. It'll also depend on comps and when GW2 is likely to launch (I'm thinking that's Fall, though, so shouldn't be an issue).

Did someone set up a guild on the new server? My sub is still active, but I've been out of town for some time.
